UNESCO centre in Seoul gets new lease of life

UNESCO and the Republic of Korea are signing an agreement on 23 August to renew their cooperation through the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) for six years.

APCEIU was established in 2000 under the auspices of UNESCO to promote and develop education for international understanding with a view to promoting a culture of peace in the Asia-Pacific region. Its main programme areas include: capacity-building of educators in education for international understanding (EIU); EIU research and policy development, and dissemination of information on EIU.

APCEIU is the Focal Point of the UNESCO Education Sector’s Category 2 Centres.
